LosAngelesLGT Posted May 26, 2010 Share Posted May 26, 2010 Hmmm. I get all my OEM stuff from FBP. The local dealers are a RIP OFF. Maybe try another online OEM supplier. Local dealer wants apx (with 10% tax) $28 for green radiator fluid/gal and $36 for blue. Ugly prices. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

morning woodie wagon Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 I take it things did not work out well. To answer your question I'm sure there are plenty of guys on the forum( myself included) that would be happy to help you out. But if you want to take youR car to a shop. As a former auto technician I can only recommend you drop it off and rent a car for a weekend. Most local business offer military discounts you don't want to rush the work. Because we are all human and can over look things from time to time ( sorry morning woodie wagon). But I have heard good things about. Harman motive and yimi sport. I haven't had a chance but I highly recommend socalsleeper. He did my clutch install as well as 60k service. His experience showed with his attention to detail. He also answered all my stupid questions while he did the work . I'm enjoying the clutch and the car feels great. Thanks again, will be contacting you for more work in the near future .

socalsleeper Posted May 30, 2010 Share Posted May 30, 2010 Thanks for the kind words. I look forward to helping you out with whatever you may need. Just trying to help a brother out. And don't worry about the questions, I am not greedy with my knowledge anything I can answer I am more than happy to do so. SoCalSleeper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew888 Posted May 31, 2010 Share Posted May 31, 2010 (edited) Not exactly a place to get your car worked on but that's probably a good thing. I just had tires installed for the second time at DnJ Wheels and it is the ONLY place to go if you are crazy nervous about anyone scratching your rims. They got me in and out in an hour and tires are well balanced and NEVER a scratch.

Saul_Good Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Whoa that is huge!! I can barely see the sticker does it say 225/40/18? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted June 3, 2010 Share Posted June 3, 2010 Thats nothing. 235 minimum, lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew888 Posted June 6, 2010 Share Posted June 6, 2010 (edited) Haha...yep, that is a 225 and nice and square on an 8" rim (read...none of this stretched tire crap) Dooode I'm mildly paranoid, first the 01R's, then the tire that "runs wider", next the 235s and with my alignment settings... I should still have plenty of room.

m sprank Posted June 7, 2010 Share Posted June 7, 2010 They are only tires. They wear out, lol. Next time for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saul_Good Posted June 8, 2010 Share Posted June 8, 2010 I should have gone for it...next time I have 245/35/18 on a 8in wide wheel. Offset is 51 and they fit both front and rear w/no fender rubbage or roll either, granted the car is only lowered an inch or so. I had 225/40/18 RE01s recently and these are waaay wider. I need to post pix of the size difference. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drew888 Posted June 13, 2010 Share Posted June 13, 2010 If you're in north Orange...consider DnJ Wheels. Want to get back on topic...I just think highly of these guys.

Seems I am always at a loss for jacks when not at home. Damn I miss my lift... Nothing like raising the car to me insted of bending over to it. Plus pulling a trans with a lift and trans jack= easy.. Floor jack and a crepper= pissed of tech. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
m sprank Posted June 25, 2010 Share Posted June 25, 2010 Only reason I brought my tranny to a shop. Because I dreaded using jack stands and a tranny jack for removal. In the end I got twice the bill in repairs from the botched job and had to do the work myself anyway. Seen lifts for less than $1k (not harbor freight, lol). If I only had the space.
